They all look awesome but this one is my favourite and stands out more!

I think it must be because of the size. XD

The quality of the image is fantastic and the effects surrounding her are so pretty!

I love the colours and the red tinge near her right looks gorgeous!

The lighting is very well done and the smudgey background is very pretty.

I can see so much more detail with this new computer screen! =D

Keep up the fantastic work!

I also like this one, the effects around her make the entire thing stand out so much more and even the text in this one goes well with everything else, sure its simple but better to keep it simple than failing all together I'd say. ♥ You've always been good with CD4 effects and I'd say its the one detail that make your signatures stand out so much more. Yer doing an awesome job, keep at it! ♥

 

[Joey Starfire]

I think that this one really works!, maybe a little bit bright, but the text looks great, the render is blended in beautifully. All the colours seem to match.
Beautiful sig, well done!

 

[Ewan]

I think this is really fantastic. The focal point is well established thanks to great lighting and colours.
The effects look great and the use of C4D is spot on. I can never make C4D work as well as you do (Y). I usually stick to brushes, but C4D looks great when it's been used well. They compliment the colours of the render and wrap around her very nicely.
The smudged background is very cool and works well with the render used.

I think the text could be bigger and maybe a different colour. I would also move the text closer but that's just me.
I like the fonts used and the way the two lines have been positioned together.

(Y) Nice one! It's well hawt

Huge update time. xD

Here's just me updating my signature again.

And, I've been on a total FFXII kick lately, so I got all inspired to make a sig for each of the main characters. I've tried to make them all unique. xD

 

[Aselia]

OMG. I freaking love those. The Penelo and Fran ones especially They look fantastic. I love the backgrounds you used on the Penelo, Basch and Fran sigs. They look epic ♥ ♥ ♥ The c4d effects in each one looks amazing, especially in the Balthier sig. Great Work Markeh ♥ Keep it up!

 

[Jasmine You]

Wow, you really went on a roll with the FFXII ones. They're wonderful, you & your CD4 usage are so win. I see in all of them the colors run well among each other but the one thing that sets them off is the text, I believe you still need a tad more work on them. The texts go fine as they are but I do believe you can do more so much more with them, y'know? ♥

 

[Linnaete]

I love the FFXII signatures, some more than others. I particularly love the Balthier and Fran ones. I have no real complaints about the texts other than the exceptionally curly font, yet nevertheless I think you've done a tremendous job on them. The Penelo signature is probably the only one that I have a little issue about. I think it's the colour combination of Penelo and the incongruous background.

 

[Daenerys]

Here's my current wip, not sure what to do with it, or whether to leave it as it is -

 

[Ewan]

I think this looks really fantastic. The flow of the tag is the best part IMO, and colours scheme fits very well. The dots of colour look great as well, I think I may have copied that technique from you!

I think it looks good as it is tbh. I would maybe add some more lighting and burn some parts of the tag just add a bit more depth if I wanted to do anything else to it.

Good stuff.

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Wow this one looks fantastic!

I simply love the colours and the effects surrounding her!

The effects flow along with the angle she's in and looks awesome!

The focal is well established and everything is blended in nicely together.

I would suggest more lighting on her though. Even if it was just focused on her face. It just looks a tad too dark at the moment.

Other than that brilliant signature!

 

[Daenerys]

Past SOTW entries!

SOTW 117 - Virtues. I just threw this together at the last second to flesh out the number of entries some more -

Here's the latest Mark/Amanda collaboration;

And I wanted to try my own shizz too on that SOTW;

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

I voted for this one!

I think this set was the best.

I love the image used. Very cute. <3 It looks like it's snowing all around her and gives off a chilly feeling.

The C4D looks fantastic and the glossy smooth look of it looks great!

I like the touches of red here and there and the text looks awesome!

Lovely fonts. <3

I was close to voting for this one as well!

The wintery feel is apparent though I think that the warmer colours around the girl take that feeling away.

They do look pretty, but they do take away from the Winter theme. That's the only reason I didn't vote for it. XD

The font that says 'Winter' doesn't really lool that great. I think another more simple font would look better.

Other than that lovely work. <3

 

[Daenerys]

Current wip

Quite happy with it so far, apart from the text >_> I'm just stuck with where to take it from here.

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Wow this one looks amazing!

I simply love the soft shimmery texture it has about it. Her clothes look so silky! =0

The colours are gorgeous and work so beautifully together.

The little yellow square bits look cute and the smudgy/blurriness around her looks fantastic!

I like how her face is much more clear and brings your attention to her in that area. It establishes the focal much better.

The font used could be better in my opinion and also a lot smaller in size.

Other than that I'd say you've done a wonderful job. =D

 

[Daenerys]

Update time!

 

[Sabriel]

Love the render used and the lighting. The crosses under the text were a nice touch, the text should be in a different IMO, doesn't suit the piece ver well >_> The blue in the middle gives nice add to BG. Not big on the black border ¬_¬

Anyways, well done and keep it up!

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

I'm liking this one a lot!

The blue is very appealing in this and adds a nice calm feel to it.

The blurriness in the background looks good as it draws your attention to the focal a little more.

Also what filter (if it's a filter) did you use in the background? Was it like a ripple effect?

The little bubble things near the top look nice blended in there. It adds a bit of texture.

Very nice simple look about it all. =)

Update time!

Oh wow this one is pretty!

Gorgeous colours and effects shooting up from the bottom and I like how the background is just white. It makes the guy stand out more.

It's all very crisp looking and the lighting is done very well.

Awesome blending into the effects and I love the blue haze over his hand on the staff.

Black border works well.

 

[Daenerys]

I've updated my first post ^^ It's where I put the best of my shizz.

Anyway, update! Here's my SOTW 120 entry;

This is the sig me and Amanda entered, top one is how it looked before I sent it to her;

Here's my newest one. I played around with the text a bit more than I normally would here, although I HATE making sigs with a black and white stock, I quite like it;

as much as i really love your style, i think it is time for something different, and i will tell why. Looking throughout your tags in this thread, they all have that certain element that makes it identical, and thus very predictable. However, if you were to go out of your comfort zone, I am positive that you will find your abilities to grow even faster then they would have originally grown. I'm not saying the style you have going is bad, I am just saying that expand outside your comfort zone, experiment. You won't regret it .
